Am I A Soldier Of The Cross?

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2014

Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Music: Thomas A. Arne

Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His Name?

Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?

Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?

Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord.
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.

Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith’s discerning eye.

When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all Thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine.

Marching To Zion

Saturday, October 11th, 2014

Lyrics: Isaac Watts (refrain by Robert Lowry)
Music: Robert Lowry

Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
Join in a song with sweet accord
And thus surround the throne,
And thus surround the throne.

Refrain:
We’re marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching upward to Zion,
The beautiful city of God.

Let those refuse to sing,
Who never knew our God;
But children of the heavenly King,
But children of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad,
May speak their joys abroad.

Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground,
We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground,
To fairer worlds on high,
To fairer worlds on high.

In The Name Of Jesus

Lyrics and Music: unknown

In the Name of Jesus,
In the Name of Jesus,
We have the victory;

In the Name of Jesus,
In the Name of Jesus,
We have the victory,

Who can tell of
God’s pow’rful works,
Who can fathom
God’s great love;

In the Name of Jesus, Jesus,
We have the victory.
